Queensland Police Service - Look to the Stars Acknowledgement PlaquePrint Page 
The "Look to the Stars" plaque acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the lands and Elders past, present and future and the significant contribution by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people towards the protection and safety of all people in our country.
The plaque features the artwork "Look to The Stars." As we look to the stars, the Guiding Constellation lights up the sky, illuminating our way forward through trust, relationships and respect. The artwork incorporates Sir Robert Peel’s nine principles of policing as stars. The artwork was produced by Indigenous artist Jenna Lee from Gilimbaa who worked with a specialist reference group from the QPS to inform the artwork.
"Look to the Stars" was launched by the QPS in May 2018 and serves as a visual reminder of our past, present and future engagements with all Indigenous communities throughout Queensland. Former Commissioner Ian Stewart initiated a Look to the Stars ‘Acknowledgement to Country’ plaque that is gradually being placed at all QPS establishments.

Police officers from across South Brisbane have gathered at Dunwich Police Station to unveil a new plaque acknowledging the strong relationships between police and local communities. A Look to the Stars plaque was unveiled at a ceremony held on Tuesday morning at Dunwich State School.
Look to the Stars, an artwork launched in 2018, adorns uniforms and other police materials and was created by members of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community and the Queensland Police Service.
Dunwich State School Adopt-a-Cop and master of ceremonies Senior Constable Jai Taylor said the event was symbolic of reconciliation and also for the emerging community leaders present.
